Is it worth doing a 4th revision or will my scars can become worse? (Photos)
I am a female turning 50 yo. I had my 1st rhinoplasty at 18 yo. I wanted my nose to become thinner and shorter. I was happy with my nose after the surgery when I didn't smile, but when I would smile-my nose would twist to the left...My surgeon told me that he would have to take a cartilage from my ear and put it inside my nose. I've remembered that another patient next to me was complaining of having a flat ear after that procedure, so I decided to try another surgeon. So, 12 months after the 1st rhinoplasty I had a revision. The surgeon didn't explain how he would stop my nose from twisting during me smiling, but reassured me I would be fine. I saw a cartilage in a jar in the nurse's hands just before my surgery, so I realised that it would be inserted inside my nose. The surgery was badly botched, the nose became horrible. I knew if I waited for 12 months, I could have another revision. I went to the 3rd surgeon. He hardly changed anything. I think he just lifted the skin, got horrified and put it back on, as I didn't see any change in the shape or form afterwards. However, the nose became blue and it was blue for years. I had laser done to make the skin on the nose become less blue and to remove red huge capillaries on the nose. I used to smoke at the time (nobody asked me if I did), which worsened the blood flow even more. Thick scars appeared where nostrils are supposed to be. Now, 30 years later, is it worth doing the 4th revision or my scars can become worse?
